Memantine is a low-affinity voltage-dependent uncompetitive antagonist at glutamatergic NMDA receptors.
Memantine acts as a non-competitive antagonist at different neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs)
Memantine acts as an agonist at the dopamine D2 receptor.
Memantine acts as a non-competitive antagonist at the 5-HT3 receptor
Memantine does all these things, however it doesn't seem to treat anything reliably.
